Writing FIles produces strange files

New comment
 

Hi, when I use the FileWrite or FileWriteString, MT produces binary files, which are close to be text files.


Here is my code:


string msg = "\nTester duration: "+DoubleToString(double(end_time-init_time)/1000.0)+" sec";

  string file_name= "TestLog.txt";
   int file_handle = -1;
  file_handle=FileOpen(file_name,FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE|FILE_TXT);
   if(file_handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
    Print("Error opening rep-file: "+file_name);
//---
   FileSeek(file_handle,0,SEEK_END);
   FileWrite(file_handle,msg);
   FileWrite(file_handle, "\nErrors:");
   for (int i=0; i<err_log.size(); i++)
   {
    FileWrite(file_handle, "\n"+err_log.errors[i].msg);
   }
   FileFlush(file_handle);
   FileClose(file_handle);


Here is the result:

This is how a text file should look like:

What do I miss?

 

solved:

This would have been the right combination of parameters.

file_handle=FileOpen(file_name,FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE|FILE_TXT|FILE_ANSI);
